"General, this city wall is too high. I'm afraid it will be difficult to attack by force."
A cavalryman who looked strong looked at Jinsha City and said.
What the cavalry feared the most was attacking the city. Due to the lack of siege equipment, it was impossible to climb the 20-meter-high wall.
Moreover, the advantage of cavalry lies in their horses. It would be extremely stupid to give up their horses to attack the city.
"Wait, wait for the wind and sand to come over."
Xi Bin gently raised his hand to feel the slowly blowing north wind.
"The wind isn't cold here."
Xibin had heard that the wind in Xixia was very strong and cold, but now it doesn't feel cold or strong.
He felt that Tang Guolong and Pu Xuan lied and deliberately exaggerated Bei Feng.
The wind is not cold this year because Storm Canyon is blocked and the cold wind remains on the ice sheet.
Woohoo...
Finally, the wind and sand blew again, and the yellow sand in the sky rolled southward, making Jinsha City blurry.
Xibin occupied the north wind direction, pointed in several directions, and his cavalry immediately dispersed.
Xibin led a dozen horses and slowly approached Jinsha City following the north wind.
Li Zhuo led his soldiers to guard Jinsha City, with heavy troops concentrated at the west gate. Because the enemy came from the west, Li Zhuo thought that the enemy's attack point was at the west gate.
Jinsha City has only two gates, the east gate and the west gate.
Because Jinsha City is located in the middle of the east-west trade route, there are not many people from the north and south.
There were only more than a hundred soldiers guarding the northern city wall.
"Damn it, who dares to sneak attack?"
"I heard that he is from the Uz Kingdom. Old Liu Tou and the others said that his archery skills are very accurate."
"King Wu asked us to stay here to guard against the Us Kingdom, but they came unexpectedly."
"Nonsense, King Wu knows things well. He said that the Uzbek Congress will come, so it will definitely come."
"Stop fucking farting. You were complaining a few days ago. Just cheer me up."
"This wind and sand are so damn big, I can't even see clearly."
"Hey, where have Old Liu Tou and the others gone?"
"No matter where they go, if they encounter an enemy attack, they must surrender, you cowards."
There was a lot of discussion in the city, and the soldiers were waiting for the battle to start in the direction of the west gate. They also thought that the battle would start at the west gate.
call out!
An arrow came with the wind and hit a soldier.
"Enemy attack!"
The soldiers next to him were startled and shouted loudly.
call out!
Another arrow struck, and the shouting soldier fell to the ground.
In the wind and sand, vision was blurred, screams were everywhere, and the North City was in chaos.
"Fight back!"
The artillery was lit, the muskets fired to the north, and the explosives were thrown out of the city.
Li Zhuo was at the west gate. Hearing the fighting in the north, he immediately led his troops to the north city.
The wind and sand were so strong that he couldn't see clearly what was going on outside. Li Zhuo was furious and cursed: "Throw explosives at me, and blast me with artillery and muskets!"
Jinsha City is high and very strong. As long as the enemy is not allowed to get close to the city wall, no matter how good the enemy's archery skills are, it is impossible to shoot everyone to death.
Moreover, the artillery is more powerful and is not affected by wind and sand, so it can just be fired at it.
Artillery was lit, muskets were fired, and explosives were thrown out for free.
boom..
The explosion sounded, and the arrows rested for a while.
call out!
Another arrow flew in, and Li Zhuo hid under the city wall and did not dare to show his face.
"Damn it, I can't see clearly, how can he see clearly?"
Li Zhuo was very surprised, why could he see clearly from the other side? I can't even see clearly.
With no time to think, Li Zhuo could only order the explosives to be thrown.
outside the city.
Xibin led a dozen horses to listen to the wind in the north. He could judge the enemy's position from the subtle changes in the wind.
He was called the Wind Rider, not only because the arrows he shot could use the wind, but also because he could hear the enemy's position from the wind.
Therefore, as long as there is wind, he has a field of vision and does not need to see at all. This is his strength.
boom!
The explosive exploded, and the loud noise impacted the airflow. Xibin hesitated and continued to listen to the wind.
boom!
A cavalryman next to him was hit so hard that his body was broken into pieces, and his horse was also killed.
"What a terrible weapon!"
The cavalryman next to him was frightened.
The artillery hit a cavalryman and shattered the cavalryman.
Xi Bin was also deeply shocked. With such a terrifying weapon, without the cover of the wind and sand, they would be easily beaten into pieces.
Tang Guolong and Pu Xuan are two bastards! Da Zhou has such a powerful weapon, why didn't they tell him!
Tang Guolong and Pu Xuan talked about many things, but not about artillery and explosives. Xi Bin felt that these were the most terrifying things.
boom!
The bow and arrow in Xibin's hand paused for a moment, then he raised his hand and touched his helmet. The feathers on it were gone.
Something broke the feathers on the helmet, faster than an arrow, completely invisible, and there was no time to even listen to the change in the wind.
"Be careful!"
Xibin suddenly realized that he was exaggerating. Jinsha City not only had strong walls, but also terrible weapons. His listening skills would not work here.
The other cavalrymen also realized the danger and dispersed to avoid being too concentrated.
boom!
A war horse was hit by a cannonball, its head exploded instantly, and the soldiers screamed in fright.
"It's not a stone, what is this!"
The soldier fell off his horse and was frightened.
The war horse was shot in the head instantly, and he didn't see clearly what it was.
Through the wind and sand, Xibin saw a small sunken pit on the ground. He got off his horse and reached out to dig...
It must have been this thing that smashed the horse's head just now.
hiss...
When his hands touched, Xibin was so burned that he quickly stopped.
That thing is hot.
"General, do you want to stop the attack?"
The cavalry under his command were frightened, and Xibin's strategy did not work here.
They knew Xibin's plan to attract attention at the north gate, and then used their superb archery skills to frighten the enemy and break their fighting spirit. Then other people took the opportunity to climb up the city wall, and the people in the city surrendered.
Xi Bin has tried this method many times, and today he wants to do it again.
However, Jinsha City encountered terrifying weapons and they did not dare to approach.
boom!
There was another explosion outside the city. Xibin's ears moved and he judged that the thing was very powerful.
"Prepare to retreat, tell them!"
Xi Bin is not a reckless man, and will not attack and die just to save face.
They arrived with only three thousand elite soldiers. All soldiers were precious and could not die in vain.
"yes!"
The cavalry dispersed and circled to both sides, looking for other cavalry entering the city.
Nancheng.
After hearing the news of the fighting in the north, Zhang Hua led more than 500 people to the north gate.
Li Zhuozheng hid under the city wall and fought back.
Under the counterattack of artillery and muskets, the enemy's arrows stopped.
"There aren't many people outside."
Li Zhuo scolded: "It's just that the shot was too accurate, and he would die as soon as his head showed up!"
Counting the feather arrows shot at the same time, at most there were only a dozen or so, which meant that there were no more than twenty enemies outside.
However, there is no guarantee that people outside the city are luring the enemy and deliberately showing weakness.
Therefore, Li Zhuo did not plan to get up until the wind and sand calmed down.
"You go back, go back to the west gate, and be careful about making noises from east to west."
Concluding that there were not many enemies outside the North City, Li Zhuo immediately ordered the army to return to the west gate, being careful that the real target was the west gate.
The soldiers under his command hunched over to the west gate, while Li Zhuo continued to squat in the north city.
"Captain Li, how is the situation?"
Zhang Hua bent over and Li Zhuo said, "No problem, there are not many enemies outside. As long as the wind and sand stop, we can kill them."
